This is a drawing of row of buildings facing the right along a wide street. On the left is an architectural structure with a tall, pointed tower featuring a rooster weathervane on top, along with a clock face that sticks out from the side of the building. The structure has a Gothic appearance, with pointed gables and steeply pitched roofs creating an elaborate skyline. The street below is in shadow, while the facade of the building appears to be lit. At the bottom of the building, a person seems to walk along the dark street. The sky above is blank beige paper.
